(Ehi, ehi
(Hey, hey
Vita Vera mixtape
True Life mixtape
Aspettando la Divina Commedia)
Waiting for the Divine Comedy)
E quando torni a casa solo
And when you come home alone
Ma hai due joystick, chiami un amico
But you have two joysticks, you call a friend
E quando ordini quel Glovo, ti annoi, chiami un amico
And when you order that Glovo, you're bored, you call a friend
E mentre affondi negli sbatti allora
And while you're sinking in your troubles then
Chiami un amico
You call a friend
Dividiamo soldi e grammi, vuoi sfogarti?
We split money and grams, do you want to vent?
Chiami un amico
You call a friend
Ma se lo fai per fama, rubarmi vibe, non chiamarmi amico
But if you do it for fame, to steal my vibe, don't call me a friend
Se il tuo interesse è essere in hype, non chiamarmi amico
If your interest is being hyped, don't call me a friend
Se non capisci come, cosa, perché lo faccio
If you don't understand how, what, why I do it
Non chiamarmi amico, non chiamarmi affatto
Don't call me a friend, don't call me at all
Amici miei cari, è una ricerca d'affetto
My dear friends, it's a search for affection
Sul treno del successo, pendolari che non vedo, non sento
On the train of success, commuters I don't see, don't hear
Vieni a togliere il posto a chi c'è stato davvero
You come to take the place of those who were really there
E si è soltanto assentato un momento
And just stepped away for a moment
Fanculo fake friend, non ne voglio
F*ck fake friends, I don't want them
I miei cash nel portafoglio
My cash in my wallet
Li offro a un fre' che ne ha bisogno
I offer it to a bro who needs it
Ho imparato a volare andando così in alto
I learned to fly by going so high
Ho visto il mio branco diventare stormo
I saw my pack become a flock
L'amicizia ha sfumature e gradi di importanza, ricorda
Friendship has nuances and degrees of importance, remember
Se c'è intesa che si crea, poi ci lega tipo corda
If an understanding is created, then it ties us like a rope
E o mi tiene salvo come chi scala la roccia
And either it keeps me safe like someone climbing a rock
O litighiamo, facciam tiro alla fune
Or we fight, let's play tug-of-war
Ma rischiando che si rompa (pam, pam)
But risking it breaks (bam, bam)
E quando torni a casa solo
And when you come home alone
Ma hai due joystick, chiami un amico
But you have two joysticks, you call a friend
E quando ordini quel Glovo, ti annoi, chiami un amico
And when you order that Glovo, you're bored, you call a friend
E mentre affondi negli sbatti, allora
And while you're sinking in your troubles, then
Chiami un amico
You call a friend
Dividiamo soldi e grammi, vuoi sfogarti?
We split money and grams, do you want to vent?
Chiami un amico
You call a friend
Ma se lo fai per fama, rubarmi vibe, non chiamarmi amico
But if you do it for fame, to steal my vibe, don't call me a friend
Se il tuo interesse è essere in hype, non chiamarmi amico
If your interest is being hyped, don't call me a friend
Se non capisci come, cosa, perché lo faccio
If you don't understand how, what, why I do it
Non chiamarmi amico, non chiamarmi affatto
Don't call me a friend, don't call me at all
Tu mi conosci davvero
You really know me
Sai chi ero e quanta merda che ho preso
You know who I was and how much sh*t I took
Mi hai visto sopra quel treno
You saw me on that train
Spacciare erba nel tuo liceo
Selling weed in your high school
Ricordi con chi giravo, faide tra un quartiere e all'altro
You remember who I hung out with, feuds between one neighborhood and another
I nostri nomi sul caso e guardie appostate in auto
Our names on the case and cops staked out in cars
Quando sclerai perché ero troppo magro
When I freaked out because I was too skinny
A casa con il frigo vuoto e
At home with an empty fridge and
Mi avevan scavallato in cinque contro uno
They had jumped me five against one
Sapevi che a ruggire non servono bicipiti
You knew that roaring doesn't require biceps
Che se parli lo fai in faccia
That if you talk, you do it to my face
Non che fai brutto e poi mandi gli amici
Not that you act tough and then send your friends
La vendetta l'ho servita più ghiacciata, stalagmiti
I served revenge colder, stalagmites
Sono in vetta alla partita, è una collana che non scippi
I'm at the top of the game, it's a necklace you can't snatch
Per i pezzi che ti pippi, coi ragazzi siam registi
For the lines you snort, with the guys we're directors
Vedi stragi, se ci ascolti
You see massacres, if you listen to us
Tipo corti di Fellini
Like Fellini's short films
Tu non graffi dei felini
You don't scratch like felines
E quando torni a casa solo
And when you come home alone
Ma hai due joystick, chiami un amico
But you have two joysticks, you call a friend
E quando ordini quel Glovo, ti annoi, chiami un amico
And when you order that Glovo, you're bored, you call a friend
E mentre affondi negli sbatti, allora
And while you're sinking in your troubles, then
Chiami un amico
You call a friend
Dividiamo soldi e grammi, vuoi sfogarti?
We split money and grams, do you want to vent?
Chiami un amico
You call a friend
Ma se lo fai per fama, rubarmi vibe, non chiamarmi amico
But if you do it for fame, to steal my vibe, don't call me a friend
Se il tuo interesse è essere in hype, non chiamarmi amico
If your interest is being hyped, don't call me a friend
Se non capisci come, cosa, perché lo faccio
If you don't understand how, what, why I do it
Non chiamarmi amico, non chiamarmi affatto
Don't call me a friend, don't call me at all

sbatti — hassles / troubles
Sbatti is a very common slang term in Italian, especially among younger generations, and it means 'hassles' or 'troubles'. It's a shortened, more informal version of 'sbattersi', which means to 'struggle' or 'go to great lengths' for something.
In the song, Tedua uses it to describe difficult situations, as in "E mentre affondi negli sbatti allora, chiami un amico" (And while you're sinking in your troubles, then you call a friend). It's an interesting word because it captures a very contemporary and authentic way of speaking Italian, making it highly relevant for learners interested in modern Italian culture and slang.
